In a press statement issued on Tuesday and signed by its National Publicity Secretary, Dr. Yusuf Agbabiaka, the group expressed concern over the continued circulation of the audio for more than a week without any official update from security agencies on efforts to neutralise the threat.

According to the statement, the audio was allegedly released by one Maazi Kanayo, who identified himself as a “Speaker” and reportedly issued what the group described as a “matching order” directing Igbo citizens to kill any Igbo Muslim found within the region.

MMWG said the viral recording allegedly portrayed Igbo Muslims as agents of Fulani herders who were paid to convert to Islam. The speaker reportedly ordered that such persons should be kidnapped and buried alive, claiming similar acts had been carried out in the past.

“The content of this audio is dangerous and capable of setting Nigeria ablaze if not urgently addressed,” the statement said, adding that unchecked incitement of this nature could result in violence worse than the Nigerian civil war.

MMWG expressed disappointment with what it described as the failure of relevant security agencies — including the Nigeria Police Force, the Department of State Services (DSS), the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) and Military Intelligence — to promptly brief Nigerians on actions taken regarding the threat.

The group linked Nigeria’s prolonged insecurity, including terrorism, insurgency, kidnapping, banditry and attacks by unknown gunmen, to the inability of authorities to respond swiftly to early warning signs.

In a statement released on Sunday, the DSS confirmed the arrest of a suspected arms manufacturer and dealer, identified as Musa Abubakar.

The arrest was made on November 12, 2025, after precise intelligence led operatives to Abubakar’s weapons manufacturing workshop located in the Mista Ali area of Bassa Local Government Area, Plateau State. Items recovered from the scene included components of improvised explosive devices (IEDs), chemicals, and other arms-making equipment.

According to the DSS, Abubakar confessed to producing and distributing high-calibre weapons to armed groups involved in attacks across Plateau State and neighbouring regions.

“Operatives of the Department of State Services have successfully disrupted a high-target arms supply network linked to terrorist activities in Plateau and neighbouring states,” the statement read. “The operation led to the arrest of Musa Abubakar, a key arms dealer, following precise intelligence on November 12, 2025.”

This operation is part of the federal government’s intensified efforts to curb killings and insecurity in the Northern region and across Nigeria. In line with these efforts, the DSS had earlier announced the arrest of nine suspects, including 46-year-old Timna Manjol, a member of the First Baptist Church, believed to be connected to terrorist activities.

Additionally, the secret service recently recaptured Abdulazeez Obadaki, also known as Bomboy, a notorious Kuje Prison escapee linked to the deadly Owo Church attack and an assault on a Deeper Life Church.

The DSS reiterated its commitment to dismantling terror networks and curbing the proliferation of illegal arms in Nigeria.
